The first and best answer is that it’s against the law. Copyright laws in the United States prohibit the rebroadcast for commercial purposes radio broadcasts or music for which the rebroadcaster (in this case, you) has not paid music licensing fees.
Secondly, the radio station you choose may be your favorite, but even the most popular station in any city is only the favorite of 10-12% of the market. So that means 88% of your callers probably DON’T like that station.
Third, radio reception can be difficult. Do you want your callers On Hold to hear static? As for your iPod, as rugged and reliable as it might be, it’s simply not designed for 24/7 use. For a lot less than the cost of a new iPod, you can easily afford one of many players that are specifically designed to play your On Hold program hour after hour, day after day, week after week.
